Mark Kelly is a combat vet fighter pilot turned astronaut turned senator. If he doesn't qualify as American hero nobody does.
If Pete Kegsbreath thinks trying to intimidate Kelly is a good idea I'd say the alcohol finally rotted the parts of his brain left that weren't full of racism.

I hope Ukraine knows the majority of Americans aren't in favor of selling them out like our so called leader is. The fact that the peace treaty gives reason to believe the Russians wrote it is shameful.

Trump continues to do metaphorically to Putin what he did physically to "Bubba."
A new peace proposal for Ukraine drafted by the Trump administration could envision the country ceding the eastern Donbas region and limiting the size of its military in exchange for security guarantees from the United States, according to a Western official familiar with the ideas under discussion.

I think we need to let video game narratives that insult/punish players for killing enemies take a vacation for a few years. 99% of games do it poorly, and most of them don't even give good options for avoiding combat.

What is so unique about Donald Trump that we allow him to break every single norm, and often law, associated with the presidency but the media and most voters allow it?

Replaying Avowed, and while it definitely has some shortcomings it's a solid game. It's so satisfying watching an enemy pinball from a grenade or fly backwards from an arquebus shot.

Black powder fantasy > medieval fantasy. Bar none.
I'd like to see more video games and TTRPGs go for black powder. Industrial or early modern era fantasy would be fun, too.

I think part of this is to deflect, but also to say the files are part of ongoing investigations and therefore can't be released.
